Make my heart a house of prayer

Thou know'st the way to bring me back
My fallen spirit to restore
O, for thy truth and mercy's sake,
Forgive and bid me sin no more
The ruins of my soul repair
And make my heart a house of prayer

This rebel heart by love subdue
And make it soft and make it new

Charles Wesley wrote a poem called 'Make my house a house of prayer' Up there is verse three and a line from verse 4, and I am blogging it because I cannot get it out of my head. Jesus is the great physician, he heals broken hearts. Rebellious hearts. Praying for backsliders and my own straying nature.
